When it is your job to put out a program for others to use, it is your job to ensure that the program works. You don't release something with the knowledge that many things are wrong and you can just fix it later. The same thing should be expected of game developers. When you are down to the end and you're getting ready to go gold, you better have your butts in there testing the crap out of the game. You can't release a game with such glaring problems. That is your responsibility and what you are paid to do.

AMEN!

The online play this year is basiclly unplayable, constant frezing gms dropped, frezing after games where you have to restart your ps3, this out of control, even the online lgs can't keep track of players records properly.. i was 6-1 if you looked on the schedule but lg standings showed me at 2-0....... come on is this really the best sony can offer fo a online experience, baseball lovers might as well save the $70 bucks and play 09 for this year because it's the same game offfline last year as this year... Thanks Kolbe hoping to see this fixed ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I've bashed the franchise play I have only had 1 game freeze on me out of 25 playing online, that is far better than any other sports game I've ever played online.

Whatever these problems are, I'm not seeing them.

Settle down. Let that be the end of it.

What? I thought that Russel had said the miscommunication that caused the potentials to be mis-attributed was identified immediately and was to be addressed in Monday's update.

I just checked the Yankees roster and there are 2 or 3 A level prospects, so I don't think thats bad at all.

love the game....love the boards....love...love...love

BUT...

i work in software development, and if we put this product out to our customers we would all have lots more time on our hands to play it (2-3 years in a row no less). the fact that simulating through a franchise just once is enough to highlight obvious issues (price fielder and jason werth on wavers for example) illustrates to me the approach this company takes to quality assurance.

again, don't get me wrong...i appreciate the effort of everyone contributing to the game and the board...BUT...its obvious the people running THE SHOW...don't feel like its a deal braker to tell joe shmo out 60 bucks...deal with it...we will get to it (maybe)...and thats bad business IMHO.

I thought the same thing when I first played the game.
I work in a advertising agency, and you usually theres a person in charge for checking for mistakes. If we let out a ad to a client, with this many blatant mistakes, the person whose in charge of supervision would be fired on the spot. One or two hard to find mistakes, would be cool. But most of the bugs in Franchise are pretty big. I'm not callling for anyones head, it just makes you wonder how so many big and obvious issues like this slip through the cracks.

Just as a question: I haven't been following this thread much because I have been playing exhibition.

The problems are that too many good player are on waivers and too many A-potential prospects, right?

Having quickly just browsed a couple of teams, I am seeing maybe a max of 5 A level players. Most of whom are fairly young, so I don't think that it is that big a deal. However, most are pitchers...so...yeah.

Is the new roster update supposed to fix the waiver problem as well? I assume that will take a patch, right?
